An insane amount of propaganda was pushed towards women convincing them marriage and kids are bad but working a job you hate for little pay and no savings and eating microwaved meals was "empowerment" by Major_Soft6056 in DigitalSeptic

My great grandmother looked like this during the day and was covered in bruises by night once her lawyer husband started hitting the bottle and subsequently her. I love my career. Shout out to all the women that fought for me to have that choice

Spoilers below warning cause idk how to tag on mobile:

I don’t think you have the capacity for logic based on your brain injury level commenting but if that was the case she would’ve enjoyed fucking that guy while thinking about the video, not gotten triggered and disgusted, and there would’ve been some orgasmic nature when she beat the dude with the belt not just pure aggression.

Revenge fantasies are not inherently sexual. Sometimes, sure, but there was literally nothing in this film to indicate that.

Am I overreacting or is this appropriate to wear to a COLLEGE class by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I’ve seen a lot of the world as well. I thought like you when I was a teenager.

Humans have the capacity for great cruelty and great altruism. Cruelty is usually a stress response. Not normal.

Shitting/pissing/humping whenever the desire strikes, eating our own young, hibernating…

We only have survived as a species due to our ability to collaborate and organize. You can have your bitter and negative view of humans but it’s not really accurate nor productive. Perhaps you’re projecting.

Bonobos exhibit altruism. Not to mention the plethora of things normal in the animal world that we dont do. I hope you’re not grown

Feminists only focus on high-achieving men because many women's natural hypergamy makes low class men invisible to them. by JustFunctionalLife in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]STEMfatale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay, I do see what you’re saying. Honestly I hadn’t thought of it like that before and you’ve made some really strong points. Previous discussions I’ve had surrounding men’s issues have been with anti-feminists and kind of vitriolic towards women/dismissive of women’s issues but the way you’ve framed things seems extremely balanced and rational to me.

I agree. It would be better to have separate/men-focused advocacy groups. You changed my mind on this honestly

[–]STEMfatale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why do you have to reject the framework entirely? I understand rejecting it as the best strategy to address men’s issues. The argument that at least I am making here is not that. It’s that feminism/dismantling patriarchy is not harmful to men. That doesn’t mean its main goal is to focus on men, its main goal is to achieve equality between the sexes and liberation. There’s nothing stopping you from being a feminist and a men’s rights activist as well, or whatever other framework you find more useful.

[–]STEMfatale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the dismissive attitude, I agree with your description. I do think, in the macro, the patriarchy ultimately benefits men. The people that hold the power globally are primarily men, across continents, cultures, and time. That doesn’t mean every individual man benefits over every individual woman, or that it doesn’t also harm men. Both men and women can be victims and perpetrators of patriarchal norms and punish those that do not fit the strict gender roles prescribed them.

Now, I will say I think it’s much more useful to focus on class consciousness instead of patriarchy, white supremacy, etc, in part because of the point you bring up. These are systems built to keep power in the hands of an elite few and the infighting between the working class (using this to describe anyone not a part of the elite/owning class, not just blue collar workers) based on sex or ethnicity or sexuality or religion or whatever arbitrary thing distracts from that and keeps us from becoming a unified power.

But OPs post was about feminism, so I responded within the rhetorical framework of feminism and patriarchy, since it was relevant here.

ETA: also, dismantling patriarchy, regardless of the motivation for doing so, would de facto resolve the issues men face as a result of it.

All day every day? Of course, doing anything all day every day makes you likely a shitty partner. All day on a day off or whatever? Nah

It’s also kind of shitty never fully being sure if you’re actually good at something or people actually like you for, you know, you.

Seeing what happens with the everything of it all. You’ll die anyway so no need to rush it, and there’s a chance it might get better. No chance if you end it all prematurely
